Milter-greylist

I have uploaded the finalized rpms and source rpms of milter-greylist
compiled with libspf2 support and the rpms for libspf2 itself to the
following location:

http://files.eschauzier.org/milter-greylist/

This directory also holds rpms for spamass-milter with an additional
patch to avoid scanning of messages from authenticated users (see
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?5241)

Rudy.
